TL;DR-If you like local co-op beat-em-ups with catchy music and outlandish, over-the-top artstyle and combo potential in their gameplay, at least check out the FREE DEMO for Jitsu Squad. Every playable character is an anthro. However, buy a game based on its merit, not because I backed it or because Maximillian Dood and Yooka Laylee have cameos in it. Wait until you see reviews if you want. Game is also coming to Switch and PS4 later this year if you prefer to wait for a console release. 20 bucks for a solid, gorgeous beat-em-up.


Lengthier info:

Over a year ago, as I was keeping track of games to collect, one publisher sent out an email just pointing out a kickstarter project that they thought looked cool, rather than telling me about a new game they were putting out nearly every month.

When I looked at the project, I loved the art style, the music, the FREE DEMO that's still available at https://tanukics.wordpress.com , and dropped a pledge to put Flayne in the background of one of the stages. He looks a bit different, claws out on his hands and such, but I had them throw him in a stage with skeleton warriors and flaming skull bats so its interesting to think about how he would try to adapt to such fearsome circumstances. Also most of the cast in the game underwent transformation because loose plot element/magic-Most bosses and the playable characters can transform and become invulnerable for a short time. I did a bit of research on the art team, and checked out Laurent Romero's comics at romerocomics.com. The guy clearly took inspiration from Dragon Ball in his style while also doing great expressions and humor.

I love local co-op beat-em-up games, and just wish I had people around with me to finish the PC version I beat yesterday since I had early access. I had also pledged enough to try out the other half of the rosters' playstyles early as they were developing it. One of the bosses will be a playable DLC character eventually as we met that stretch goal.

Again, use your own judgment, but if I introduced you to a good gaming time with your friends, I'm glad.

Lastly, if you're already convinced, the game is 20% off through April 5th. https://store.steampowered.com/app/.....0/Jitsu_Squad/
